Tim Tebow as Keynote Speaker
Organizers are thrilled to feature 2007 Heisman Trophy winner and New York Times Best-Selling Author, Tim Tebow as the keynote speaker of the event. Apart from his successful football career, which saw him winning two National Football championships and his selection as a first-round player for the Denver Broncos, Tebow’s unparalleled work for the Down syndrome community has been admirable and commendable.
Event Highlights and Ticket Sale
The landmark event will showcase a meet and greet for a select number of VIP guests, a silent auction, and a live auction in addition to an entertaining and insightful speech by Tim Tebow. Featured items for auction include a Tim Tebow autographed helmet, boxing trunks signed by Muhammad Ali, a bat signed by Hank Aaron, and a Toby Keith autographed guitar.
Tickets for the groundbreaking event are available for purchase online with options to buy an entire table of ten seats, individual tickets, or special meet and greet passes. Due to the high anticipation of the event, tickets are expected to sell out soon, thereby proponents are encouraged to make purchases sooner rather than later.
The Impact of “Raise the Roof” Charity Dinner
By raising funds for a new Buddy House, the “Raise the Roof” Charity Dinner will extend DSSKY’s much-needed support to additional families affected by Down syndrome across the 14 counties it currently serves in southern Kentucky, making this event pivotal in the organization’s history.
